I love the image of the whales protecting their joy-it’s for them alone. And I’m so sorry a teacher was part of your Joy killing😔

Yes! I've never seen them breach before. It was magnificent. It was hard that it was a teacher. Luckily, I've had a lot of fantastic, joy-amplifying teachers too. I was so glad that when I got to the 5th grade, I didn't have this person as my teacher. I had Ms. Roberts and she was awesome!

Ahh ... thanks Cynthia! Yes, I thought that might be more accessible for some folks. Thank you for being my first listener. At least, that I know of.
